SOIL Auto past 100 days

[Vaderbuds]

This Auto is past 100 days. Still doesn't look ready what do you think?

What do the trichomes say?

 

[dirtymike]

Foxtailing now. Get a close look at the trichomes color on bottom and compare to top. When you get "Ginger" color you ready for "me pipe"

 

[Rwise]

Also what does the breeder say about its genetics, or how long was it supposed to take sprout to harvest?
I have had autos that were to take 120 days, they took 130 days and 4+ feet tall

 

[Vaderbuds]

Breeder said 10 weeks. Trichromes are cloudy and clear still. No amber yet at all. It just keeps growing new pistols all the time. The cola is super fat and buds are thick bud don't look mature enough yet. The bottom still developing new buds.

I have read many saying their auto never turned amber, I have seen it once but I dont often grow autos.
100 days is tad past 70 days.

 

[Vaderbuds]

Yes just a tad lol. Still doesn't look done yet to me anyway. I was thinking about switching lights to 12/12 but it still keeps growing. Should of stopped growing awhile ago. This plant is looking like it'll yield 4 or 5 ounces or more. I have bloom setting on my LED's. Should I run the red light bloom setting to make it mature? Was going to but like I said it's still growing strong and drinking a ton of water.

What is the current light schedule? I grow outside mostly, my LEDs do not have veg/flower settings, I would turn them to flower as soon as they show flowers. At this point I dont think switching to 12/12s will make much if any difference. Though the foxtails suggest excessive heat or light it could be in its genetics.

What is the temps and RH?​
Me Myself and I would let it play for a while yet, maybe 2 weeks and watch it close for changes.

 

[Vaderbuds]

Temps are perfect. 75 to 78 tops and RH at 53%. Light schedule is 20/4. This is my first inside grow. Outside the others were ready at 10 weeks. 2 should of went at least 2 more weeks but a storm blew them down so had to harvest. First time messing with Autos.

 

[Vaderbuds]

This is today. I think this one is in shock cause I grew with cheap LEDs most of its life. Then bought 2 VS1000 lights and it grew like crazy. I can tell it does have light stress from the browning. Maybe I should just put the cheap LEDs with bloom setting on the rest of its life but it still has a ton of popcorn buds on bottom developing. Not sure but it wouldn't be this big if I only ran the cheap LEDs. It did get big with only the cheapo's but was stretching. Just unsure cause it's taking forever. Still see clear trichromes and fresh pistols.

That's the ticket!

What everyone else said.
If you are in the harvest window and don't see any ginger trichomes, how about checking in a different light? My hedgehogs wash out the ginger.

 

[Rwise]

One fine morning as the sun was coming up setting there watching the girls and all those white trics, as the light hit them they all turned clear.

 

[Vaderbuds]

I have. I use a head lamp as well.

 

[dirtymike]

I think I would be using a pipe by now. Me and it would get real personal until the chop. Puff Puff wheres me pipe

 

[Vaderbuds]

Lol still got to dry and cure. Should be good. The breeder claims 38% THC so that's why I want to harvest at its full potential. Trichromes are still too clear In my opinion. I think I'm gonna give it one more week and chop.

 

[Bluey]

I've only grown autos once. I grew 4 Red CBD x AK47's and they completely ambered up. I did give them a bit much N in late veg into early flower though. I am glad I took them all the way. Produced a great smoke perfect for insomniacs.

 

[Gingerbeard]

38%??? My ass is 38%. Under the best growing conditions and the highest bribed testing lab, my ass is 38%. Who is the breeder? I wish to waggle my finger at them.
Are you considering Indica trichomes vs Sativa?

 

[Vaderbuds]

That's what it says dude.
